Flash Apps

Every time I go to admin>modules>flash apps>any of the apps>install>next>it gives me this error code>video/xml/main.xml permissions should be 666.

note: all the apps are permission are set to 777

Which is wrong for the file specified which is what it is trying to tell you. Change that file to mode 666 as stated and the warning will go away.

How do I change it or where do i go to change it

It can be done via FTP. Most FTP clients are able to adjust file permissions, or from the file manager in cpanal.

Does anyone knows what the flash apps do? I finally changed the permission but don't have a clue what they do

They are the modules that use Flash, such as video, sound, chat, board, etc.

Actually. The flash apps are not supposed to be installed from there.

Instead go to tool->modules. This is where you install and remove dolphins modules(features).

As you install certain modules like videos for instance, the video player flash app will be installed automatically because it is used by the video module.

Same with the sounds module. When it's installed, the music player flash app gets installed.

The whiteboard module installs the whiteboard flash app, ect.

You only need the flash apps section to setup RMS for use with the streaming features and to tweek settings of the apps.

Boo.

I was not paying attention to the origional question. Which i should have mentioned when i answered the permission thing.

Whenever I upload a video (flash) it gives a error

And the error is??

Server (IO) Error

This most likely is related to the uploader dolphin uses which used by a number of other software as well. If you plug that error into a google search it comes up quite often.

So, Questions.

1) Are you using firefox.
2) Is you site running SSL. IE https:// instead of http://
3) Is mod_security running on your server.

You may need to check with your host on those last 2 questions but this problem appears to be server related.

Aint tha b word. I just used IE and it upload the flash video, but of course it went to pending so I wont be able to approve it Uggh!!
